So... after *much* deliberation and phone tag with mother and sister and the lovely folk at the weather network, I've decided to head out from Toronto in the ugly rain and snow thing and try to get a motel in Kingston or, deities willing, even make it to Watertown.

My reasoning for this is that, yes, wintry mix is gross, but it is predicted to be varying degrees of such wintry mix grossness until April.

Perhaps I will find me another motel with an internet closet... otherwise, catch y'all when I get back to my place!! Think nice clear-weather-nice-visibility-no-asshead-drivers thoughts for me?

Gananoque is a great word. I mean, most of the reason I cross the border there and not at Niagra is because customs at Niagra are a bitch, but I also cross there so I have a reason to say "Gananoque." ;)

And yes, it is east of the t-dot... though I almost got on the 401 westbound because west is just such a more fun direction to go!

YAY!! for surviving driving in falling snow! Was it at night? Because that's all pretty and looks like going to warp... and is, therefore, very hypnotic. And the wintry mix really wasn't all that bad for most of the trek... I think the weathermen are boosting ratings again.

That's the hope, yes... although I don't think it's true. That morning there were tonnes of accidents (all before I set out, though) -- it's like COME ON, people! It has only been like 7 months since the last time you had to do this!
